When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted. We're hiring for two exciting positions: Watershed Resource Specialist and Stormwater Field Technician!
The Watershed Resource Specialist is a leader with great project management and communication skills who helps develop Watershed Plans.
The Stormwater Field Technician is mainly outdoors using GIS to conduct inspections on construction sites, conservation easements and more to make sure our waterways stay clean. A passion for natural resources conservation is a plus for both positions!

Papaw fruit is growing on trees within the damp understories of our riparian woodlands. Here is today's photo from the Alum Creek in Columbus. Please do not pick anything from trees nor remove from off parkland properties and along public trails. Thanks for leaving these for the wildlife and preserving our watershed's ecology. Read more in Metro Park's blog Sept 2016. www.metroparks.net/blog/pondering-pawpaws/
Pro tip: properly ripe pawpaws can be found fallen onto the ground under the tree overnight. Fruit still on the trees is not yet ripe. If you do try eating one that you find intact on the ground (outside of protected parklands), be sure to replant the large black seeds somewhere else where they might thrive within the natural corridor. Pawpaws are native trees and they are indeed special.
